Patagonia: Majestic Glaciers & Jagged Peaks

Experience four seasons in one day when visiting Patagonia. Situated on the southern frontier of South America, bordered by Argentina and Chile, the exceptional Patagonian landscape is perfectly explored by superyacht. From fjords and glaciers to desert landscapes, spaces are large and silences filling them even larger; the possibilities for adventure are endless. Explore the enchanting Andes mountains of the north or vast rugged terrain in the south - this impressive region caters to the curious.

Explorers who arrived in Patagonia some 500 years ago described the area as exotic, wild and infinite in beauty - very little has changed today. The vibrant gaucho lifestyle and ranching history in Puerto Natales contrast against isolated natural treasures such as the Marble Caves and the jagged blue ice of Grey Lake. Alternatively adrenaline junkies are spoiled for choice with numerous watersports, ice field trekking and rafting.

The Torres del Paine National Park is simply outstanding: experience magnificent forests, ice-topped mountains, picturesque waterfalls and glassy lakes. Soak up stunning views over the Southern Ice Fields, discover the Milodon Cave, sail through the Ultima Esperanza fjord and encounter ethereal glaciers during a superyacht charter in Patagonia . Adventurous visitors may like to choose an itinerary to explore the very southern extremes, navigating through sea fjords, crossing the Straits of Magellan and setting course for Antarctica. Cruising amongst the hundreds of spectacular glaciers you will find an azure playground teeming with dolphins, killer whales and penguins.

Trekking and fly fishing are prevalent in Coyhaique and Puerto Aysen. Challenge yourself to climb the amazing peaks of Mackay or the Castillo. Relax and enjoy the captivating Carretera Austral with verdant forests and exceptional panoramas framing untouched nature. In Coyhaiques main square, the arts and crafts fair offering handmade products is perfect to purchase a special reminder of your luxury yacht charter in this unique destination.
